Weekend Reads 8.6.11

I returned home from a long vacation this month to a wonderful surprise: This fantastic book, Playful Learning, by my friend Mariah Bruehl. Mariah is so gifted and generous, so it’s no surprise that this book is truly fantastic. It’s an amazing resource I’m planning to review (with some fun surprises) later this month, but I’m so excited I couldn’t wait till then to let you know about it. It’s set to release this coming week, so check it out for yourself at Amazon.

Enjoy the Weekend Reads!

  You always have such great stuff! I have to ask what section you found your dots in. I looked for some last week without any luck. I wondered if I might be looking in the wrong place. Love the idea!
